Not to go to deeply into this, but the team he wants to are saying that they honor an agreement not to take in any NHL players(if play instead of someone injured), so the choice isn´t necessarily his.

that is...a lot more promising than i expected. i had already resigned myself to the fact that we'd have no hockey this season.
don't fuck this up, PA.

c'mon now solo, the thought of lars eller taking the ice, his swedish hair glistening in the lights of the bell centre, doesn't make the lips quiver and the pants tighten?
GO FUCK YOURSELVES
He's Danish, like those things you buy in a coffee shop.

So what is the title for the season thread going to be?
Thats a huge positive for the nhlpa too (and would mean rangers will probably have to get redden to play now)
Fehr said its an excellent starting point... So I'm guessing nhlpa sees this as a launch pad
Can still go either way :/
@GlobeKPD: Fehr: ''Would like to believe after we are done [with review]....that it's an excellent starting point and there's a deal to be made.''
NHL November |OT| If I were a Betting Man, I'd say the lockout is all but Fehrgotten.

I love it!
Apparently the 4-year ELCs might have been a mistake and it's actually the same in the NHL proposal... 3 years ELCs
Which is good for the NHLPA obviously.. spectors raised a point that teams would have a harder time getting players to come over from Europe with the 4-year ELCs..

We have a winner!
November 2nd is what the NHL is offering (maximum 9 days finalizing and 1 week training camp)

They will. I wasnt confident about this at all before but now I am 100% confident that there will be a season. It sounds like the owners made real concessions and made a more reasonable offer. The players will counter and hopefully we will have a deal by next week and hockey by Halloween.
The Yotes situation isnt even fixed. We will have a lot more Bettman this year sadly.

Should I start lubing up my penis in preparation?
If this offer doesn't get accepted, we're all fucked... so I don't think I like what you're proposing!

So am I allowed to claim being right on this one? In the end it was the players that were willing to deal once the owners stopped being fucks? And we're gonna have a full season?
I want to see what the revenue sharing looks like.

NHL 12-13 |OT| We play without Fehr.
You're an idiot
Once again
Only NHL is negotiating. They have been the only one actually making proposals. This is what? The 4th different proposal they have made in a row?

OMG this is sexy. I hope this stays.

Do you really think PROPOSALS are what matters in these things? They've been in contact for weeks about various provisions. Being the side that hands over one document is completely irrelevant. Aside from initial proposals these things are much more informal.
The PA knew what was going in this thing long before it was "proposed."
Bruce, you are wrong as donkey fucking kong.
if you say 50 and i say 10, and you say 40 and i say 10 again, thats still negotiating.

Pretty sure I've been the only one consistently saying we were gonna get most of the season. I was saying all right up until they claimed to "cancel" games and just last week I said I was optimistic we'd see over 60 games.
PS Couts vs. Eller photo competition is still on I'm assuming?
This is where you're as wrong as Manics' sexual deviancy.
You mean the NHL is like "let's negotiate!"
Then the nhlpa completely avoids all economic issues? WHICH IS WHAT THIS ENTIRE CBA IS ABOUT
Or like a year ago... NHL was like "let's negotiate!" Then fehr sends out a memorandum to internal nhlpa members that they will not be talking to the NHL for the next year
Yes. I can sense the movement coming from nhlpa. A large bowel movement. Needs an enema.

Players just gave up 7% of HRR they had in the last contract... yeah man... real obstinate.

The 3 year contract length limit seems like it might be a big issue.
Also, the NHL wants all NHL-contracts in the AHL to count against the cap, so you can't just do a straight dump of bad contracts.
That split was unreasonable and they knew it.

They haven't given up shit, yet.
5 year you mean? I think 5 years will be too low for the players, probably more like 8.

These things will be worked out by next Monday. I expect the PA to ask for slightly more than 200m in rev sharing, a few more years on contracts, and shaving a year off each RFA limit to 27/7. Maybe they get one of three.

Edit: NVM, the correction was for ELC, that stays at 3 years.
brucewaynegretzky
Member
O.... well that's not good....
They were talking ELC not contract length
ELc = 3 years (players win)
Contract length = 5 years (underachieving players lose)
RFA = 28 years (players lose)
Arbitration remains = players win

So, later free agency and shorter contracts? No way the players are gonna agree to both of that... I stand by what I said, I'd be happy with an 8 year contract limit. 3 years... uh... that would either a) make for some MASSIVE cap hits or b) massive pay cuts.
EDIT:
yeah that's what I thought, thanks.
-phuh- ELC for 3 years, contracts for 5. Eh, contracts for 8 and I'm happy. (of course 5 would be better, but 8 is still good)
